Survival

(Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!)

Yeah, yeah, yeah!How can you be sitting there

Telling me that you care -That you care?

When every time I look around,

The people suffer in the suffering

In everyway, in everywhere.

Say: na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):

We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!

I tell you what: some people got everything;

Some people got nothing;Some people got hopes and dreams;

Some people got ways and means.

Na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):

We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!

Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den(Black survivors)

Survivors, survivors!So I Idren, I sistren,

A-which way will we choose?We better hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!

'Cause we got no time to lose.

Some people got facts and claims;

Some people got pride and shame;

Some people got the plots and schemes;Some people got no aim it seems!

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na!We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!

Tell you what: we're the survivors, yeah! - the Black survivors, yeah!

We're the survivors, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego(Black survivors),

Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn.So I Idren, I-sistren,

The preaching and talkin' is done;We've gotta live up, wo now, wo now! -

'Cause the Father's time has come.Some people put the best outside;

Some people keep the best inside;Some people can't stand up strong;Some people won't wait for long.

(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na-na-na, na-na-na na!

We're the survivors

In this age of technological inhumanity (Black survival),

Scientific atrocity (survivors),

Atomic misphilosophy (Black survival),

Nuclear misenergy (survivors):It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity (Black survival).

Together now:

(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na na-na na na! (Na na-na na na!)

We're the survivors, yeah!

We're the survivors!Yes, the Black survivors!

We're the survivors:

A good man is never honoured (survivors)in his own yountry (Black survival).

Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors).

Nothing change, nothing strange (Black survivors).

We got to survive, y'all! (survivors) - [fadeout]
